Tourists!

Saturday, October 26, 2013

I'm trying out the scheduled post thing this week for Thriftasaurus. It's actually Tuesday night & I'll be on my way to Ohio tomorrow (Wednesday) after work & will be without the internet until Monday! (I know, right?). Anyways, so hopefully this is up here Saturday... I have no way to tell until I get home...

I got out there once before I left for the week, overcrowded thrift stores since it's 10 days to Halloween, but it wasn't too bad. A very nice woman commented on both the bowl & the cookie jar, she actually talked me into buying the cookie jar as I was on the fence about it. It seems like it possibly has a manufacturing defect & has a surface scratch & had many surface scuffs that looked similar to Pyrex utensil marks. I was right about those - easy to get out! Also found a Hazel Atlas polka dot bowl. Just need one more to complete the set - the blue/turquoise colour one.

I also found this Lefton Bluebird creamer, chipped, but it was 99cents (ugh, I feel like Macklemore). I filed down some of the chips & he looks a little better. He's a bit crazed, too, but I couldn't let him get tossed & for a buck, he'd look great on a display shelf higher up where no one could tell he's chipped. His chips are in his beak.

That's it for me. Hopefully I have some Ohio finds to show. We decided to leave a day early & are going to end up making a couple thrift store stops & were going to go to antique malls on Thursday, however, not anymore. We'll see where the week takes us. Hopefully I can get some stuff in. We had plans to go to several malls, but they all seem scrapped, but things can always change.

Thrift on & on...

Thanks for checking out Thriftasaurus this week, hope to see you again soon!

Those Hazel Atlas bowls have been on my wish list FOREVER! I can't believe you have almost thrifted the whole set. My mother in law has the red one and I know I will end up with it someday but still, I'm not very patient!

Love each find, great scores. Enjoy your internet break! It's actually pretty relaxing to step away from the PC addiction once in a while. Can't wait for my next PC vacay but for now...work work work...
